This earthy Tennesse band transcends Google, which is a good thing for a band named Glossary

Back in the pre-Internet days — you know, when record stores were abundant and flourishing, and all albums were made primarily on vinyl — some musicians spent considerable time thinking up band names that ensured their albums would be prominently displayed.

So, take a bow, ABBA, ABC and AC/DC! (As for the short-lived English band Aardvark, which featured two future members of Free, well — all right now — nice try, guys.)

But in today’s high-tech world, many wannabe rock stars are often more tech savvy, at least when it comes to hyping themselves, than they are musically skilled. So, you have to love Glossary, the gifted Tennessee band that chose a name which yields — ahem! — 49,100,000 results when searched for on Google.

Just where this rootsy, one-woman, four-man Americana group pops up in Google is still unclear. I gave up searching after the first 20-plus page views (10 listings per page), although I was intrigued to learn “glossary of sheep husbandry” is slightly more popular than “glossary of German military terms.”

But enough about Google.

Now on tour, Glossary performs here Sunday at the Soda Bar. The show is in support of its seventh and newest album, “Long Live All of Us.”

It’s an accomplished work, without sacrificing the earthy charm that fuels such earlier Glossary songs as the Lyle Lovett-inspired ballad “The Sweet Forever” or The Eagles-on-a-bender romp “No Guarantee.”

At this rate, it may not be long before Glossary moves up on Google, or vice versa.
